Get Ready for St. Patrick’s Day With This Fancy Clover Crown

Whether you call it St. Patrick’s Day or St. Paddy’s, there’s one thing we know for sure about March 17: It’s a great day for a party! If you’re like us, you’re thinking about getting a bubbling green cocktail and whipping up some magically delicious treats. And once you’re done with all the foodies, don’t forget to add a green touch to your outfit: like a themed mani or this cute crown we’ve just made ;)

Materials and Tools:

light green and dark green felt

floral wire

scissors

Sharpie

glue gun + glue sticks

Instructions:
1. Wrap the wire around your head twice, and leave extra for the hook. Cut and fold in half, creating a rounded shape.
2. Take the felt and draw a clover with your Sharpie. Then cut it.
3. Repeat using both the light felt and the dark one.
4. Grab a hot glue gun and glue some clovers in place.
5. Keep on adding clovers until you’re completely satisfied with the final result.

First, double measure the wire around your head, and leave an extra inch for the hook. Cut and fold in half, creating a rounded shape. Next, take the felt and draw a clover with your Sharpie. Cut it and repeat using both the light green felt and the dark one. At this point, use the glue gun to glue some clovers in place. Keep on adding clovers until you’re completely satisfied with the final result. Voilà, you’re ready to wear your crown.

We have a feeling you’ll be extra lucky this year!

I have very vivid memories of walking into a bead store for the first time, almost 15 years ago, and being overwhelmed by the million and ten ideas that filled my mind. I was immediately hooked on the concept of transforming simple and unexpected elements into something beautiful and wearable. That moment was the catalyst for my eventual path into jewelry design and craft – my higher calling, if you will. Today’s tutorial takes me back to my first foray into jewelry making, where I’ll show you how to make two delightful bracelets using the same basic component. Get inspired and have fun! For single, adjustable gold tube bracelets, you’ll need: a 2mm x 38mm curved noodle tube bead 2 feet of 0.5mm chinese knoting cord an embroidery needle 2 spacer beads
Start by cutting the knotting cord into 2 12 inch pieces. Thread a gold noodle tube bead through one of the strands and cross the ends.
And now, all that’s left is the sliding closure! Similar to our macrame…

I recently spotted a sensational bouquet of paper flowers inside my favorite (and the ultimate) boutique for creative inspiration, Castles In The Air. A combination of Mexican paper flowers and those ever so popular tissue paper pom poms, these vibrant and cheerful flowers make perfect ornaments for any celebration. Plus, they’re incredibly easy to make!You’ll need: 6 – 7 pieces of 180 gram florist crepe paper cut into 20″ x 30″ sheets (it’s important to use heavyweight crepe paper for it’s stretchiness and strength) 6 – 7 small binder clips or large paper clips 16 gauge floral wire (last seen here) heavy duty scissors
First, lay out the sheets of crepe paper and fold each one into an accordion. The folds should measure about 2-3 inches thick and should be creased along the natural, horizontal lines of the crepe paper. Don’t worry about the folds being absolutely perfect!
Keep each bundle bound together by a small binder cli…
